At least 27 dead after boat capsizes in Nigeria

It's not clear what caused the accident,

Sandra Musa, spokesperson of the Kogi State Emergency Management Agency said

It could be from turbulence or from the boat hitting a snag. Boat operators don't usually have life jackets, so none of the bodies recovered had life jackets on,

she said

None of the passengers were wearing life jackets, which significantly increased the risk of fatalities,

he said

It's unclear how many people were on board, people don't usually keep a record of passengers,

said Sandra Musa, of the state emergency management agency
